 A.The only way to stay alive was to join the Communist party.

Explanation:

Although originally the plan was that the USSR would have a democratic society, replacing the czarist autocracy, the block ended up taking the path of authoritarianism, consolidated with the rise of Josef Stalin to the power, in the mid-1920s. All decisions, including the election of the leader of the USSR, remained in the hands of the Communist Party - more precisely a small group of powerful leaders, the Politburo. With Stalin, the state began to control every aspect of political, economic and social life. Those who opposed their measures were arrested and sent to labor camps (the Gulags) or executed.

Even after Stalin's death in 1953 and the public condemnation of his atrocities by Soviet leaders, the Communist Party continued to dictate the fate of the country.
